Well, I've got Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as a result of a fall; this has caused me hand and arm weakness and pain. My GP doesn't know what is causing the back pain and it tends to waver in severity and move around a bit.
Worst case scenario: A lymph node in my neck is enlarged and pressing on the nerves causing pain - I really hope this isn't the case as I've been cancer free for a year and a half now.
I've got so many tablets (it seems) to treat the back and hand/arm pain:
Diclofenac
Codeine Phosphate
Paracetamol
Amitryptyline
Zopiclone
That's in addition to 6 other tablets I've been on for years for health/mental health issues.
I see the haematologist on the 23rd and they may take another scan.
